Let's give another slant to our hypothetical bout questions. How about if we match up boxers as they were when they won the Gold as Olympians? Cassius Clay 1960 v Evander Holyfield 1984 Joe Frazier 1964 v George Foreman 1968 Floyd Patterson 1952 v Michael Spinks 1976 Cassius Clay 1960 v Leon Spinks 1976 Lennox Lewis 1988 v Teofilo Stevenson 1972 Feel free to add some more
Interesting one Stevie. I'll go Cassius w Pts Holyfield Foreman wrsc 3 Frazier Floyd Patterson wpts Spinks Cassius wpts Spinks The only one I'm having trouble with is Lewis v Stevenson. I lean slightly towards the latter to be honest, maybe on points.
Holyfield Frazier Spinks Spinks Stevenson Only last type is easy. All fights pts,.maybe Frazier -Foremam and Stevenson-Lewis tko
Pernell Whitaker 1984 v Howard Davis 1976 Not sure about this one. I'm confident that Pernell would win easily when both were at their best as professionals but it would be more of an even contest at amateur status.
